Graceffo’s Slider Revival | St. Louis Cardinals News

Gordon Graceffo’s turnaround this season has been nothing short of electric—his ERA plummeted from 6.28 to 2.70, and he’s now a late-inning staple for the Cardinals. The secret? His devastating slider, which he’s thrown more often since July 9th, leaving batters swinging and missing at a clip of just .182 against it. Even in a tough loss Tuesday, Graceffo dazzled, striking out three batters with the bases loaded to escape a jam unscathed. He’s also sharpening his changeup to set up that slider, and his chemistry with rookie catcher Leo Bernal is key—trust and timing between them are turning late-inning pressure into momentum for St. Louis.
